Cheers David. Enjoyed the video about the McDonnell XF-85 Goblin. Not seen it before. Didn't know the aircraft even ever existed. I'm not surprised it was unsuccessful. Hooking up after flight looks like a really tricky manoeuver, that would leave it and the bomber very vulnerable.

Florence Schaffner was a flight attendant on Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle on November 24th 1971. She was handed a note by a hijacker known as D.B.Cooper, who had a case containing what he claimed was a bomb. At Seattle D.B.Cooper was given a knapsack containing $200,000 and some parachutes. In return the passengers and some of the crew were released. The plane was refueled, took off and flew south-east. A some point Cooper leapt from the plane and no trace of him has ever been found.
